Using Adf Bar Codes - Symbol Cyclone M2000 Series Product Reference Manual

Cyclone
In this example, if a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828 is scanned, the
following is transmitted: 00001299<space>. If a Code 39 bar code of
1299X15598 is scanned, this rule is ignored because the length (10 characters)
does not pass the criteria.
The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data
transmission occurs.

Using ADF Bar Codes

When you program a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead
before you start scanning.
To program each data formatting rule:
1. Start the Rule. Scan the
2. Criteria. Scan the bar codes for all pertinent criteria. Criteria can include code type
(e.g., Code 128), code length, or data that contains a specific character string (e.g.,
the digits "129"). These options are described in
3. Actions. Scan all actions related to, or affecting, these criteria. The actions of a
rule specify how to format the data for transmission. These options are described
in Actions on page 4-28.
4. Save the Rule. Scan the
in the "top" position in the rule buffer.
If you make errors during this process, some special-purpose bar codes may
be useful: Erase Criteria and Start Again, Erase Actions and Start Again,
Erase Previously Saved Rule, and Erase All Rules. See
Beeper Definitions for ADF
programming steps.
